Question Need help! PC does not power on.

[komahome]

I am having trouble starting my PC. No LED powers up, the fans don’t come on. I built this PC on my own, and it’s been working fine for almost 2 years now. A few weeks ago, I was suddenly unable to power it on, and since then I’ve been troubleshooting. I’ve checked for any unplugged wires, faulty wall plugs etc, and even tried jumping the mb using PWR_SW buttons, but all have failed. I am strongly assuming there is a faulty wire that I have yet to find on the mb. I am not willing to spend money just yet considering I actually got a new PSU not too long ago.

I had a similar situation a few years ago and it was a dead board.

I hope it isn’t. I haven’t even had this mb for a year yet.

Reached a dead end where it tells me to switch reset_sw and power_sw, and that did not work

The logical conclusion seems to be that you either have a dead motherboard, or a dead power supply.
